Yoga Meditation to Alleviate Your Stress

This is a very effective breath meditation (pranayam) for releasing stress. Done in the evening, it will wash the stress from your body and your aura, and fill you with calm, quiet, balance and prana.

To begin this mediation please find a comfortable seated posture either in a chair or on the floor cross legged. Take a few moments to center by inhaling through the nose to the count of four and exhaling through the nose to the count of 4. Do this until you feel relaxed and ready to start.

Meditation Instructions
